ouchly investigated tERn any other buEi- nsss corporatlon on earth. Committees Inf congress have reported on 1t, sec ,ataries of the interior and railroad com roissioners have investigated its accounts a sucoessiop of boards of government directors have taken part in it's manage ment and scrutinized its every act. its hooks and records have been analysed by inc department of justice and court of claims. So far as l am able to dIs- coyar there is nothing connected with it's affairs or its history which congress and inc country does not know, or can moi learn from the printed records, If under these circumstances further inyes- tigat,ou IS deemed necessary. the pres ept management will facilitate that in vsstigation by all means in its power. Those connected with it only ask that any investigation may be entrusted to man of character, standing and integri- W. to the end that 1t may put a stop fer ever to those vague and scsndHlOus Be- sertIops which are now made the pre- textfor further delays, atfOrding infinite possibilities for stock manipulation. The interest of thousands of persons and whole regions of country thus become foot ball of any schemer or gambler who has access to the columns of some iournal willing to increase its circulR- ton by setting fourth forgotten scan dsls of ancient history ns new and start Iino disclosures. What the Union Paci- fic as business corporation does object to is the delay whish will keep 1t and its securities in a position to be banded tO And from between Wall street and Wash ington, the prey of intrigues and specu- lators. The government of the United States is by far the largest creditor of ths UnIon Pacific, which as a debtor IS Rt -sfi on willing and able tO pay m full If iiori- sith on recognized business prin- ID ths /It thinks it not unfair to ask its I pI 1fTipal creditor not tO let itself be used by competitors and stock Iobbers as an instrument with which Co lDJure the business resources and impair the credit of the debtor from whom the pay menr of the last penny IS still to be eI- acted. 1 respectfully but confidently submit to nllOw itself tO bo s1 used $ neither justice nor business, nor lar play.
